My LPs have MCPs in them. One has Detroiters and the other has Blackbelts (the higher end ones). Both sound fantastic. I do classic rock, 90s rock, and newer rock. My tones are in the high gain Marshall style, which is what the MCII does.
I also have a ES335 with some JS Moore's. Sounds equally fantastic. JS Moore pickups are tough to beat for the money. He's doing a wind for me now for an incoming LP Custom build that will be a hotter PAF style bucker. Excited to hear it through my MCII.

I currently have a Wizard Modern Classic 100. I have a 1981 Les Paul Custom with a Motor City Pickups 2nd Degree Black Belt in the Bridge, and a regular Black Belt in the neck. I play hard rock as well, and this combination works well for me. I like the clarity of low-moderate output pickups and the wizard has enough gain/EQ control to sound pretty heavy. I also use 11 guage strings and tune down 1/2 step, so that probably has something to do with it too.
I used to play a Detroiter set, and that also sounded good. It was a little more aggressive (almost had a "boosted" quality to it), but I liked the 2nd Degree BB's clarity and response better.
